NEETChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
What is the trend in atomic radii change among transition metals (3d series) compared to representative elements?
Options
- AThe change is larger among transition metals.
- BThe change is smaller among transition metals.
- CThe change is the same for both.
- DThe change is negligible.
Correct answer
B. The change is smaller among transition metals.
Step-by-step solution
The change in atomic radii is much smaller among transition metals (3d series) compared to representative elements.
